One trend I cannot fall into
October 2, 2006
This morning, I offered to drive my 12-year-old, fashion-conscious sister to school. At approximately 7:30am, she scuttled down the stairs in straight-leg jeans and ballet flats. This was after I went shopping yesterday and darted away from store fronts featuring mannequins sporting off-shoulder sweaters worn over thick-strapped tank tops.
I cannot deal with the return of the 80’s. All of my life, I have been thankful that I became conscious of the world as that era was being discarded.
Why did it have to be the 80’s? Can’t we bring back poodle skirts or chemises? Hell, I’d rather see corsets, capes, and girdles — anything to keep the repulsive style of Step by Step untrendy.

Haha. This is why I wear the simplest of simple pieces. Regular jeans. Tennis shoes. Plain solid color shirts. Step by Step really wasn’t 80’s, but the reference still made me laugh. Suzanne Somers’ best work by far!

Yeah, I know it was definitely early 90’s. But I can’t help but relate it. Any kind of horrendous style that I cringe at, I immediately want to call it 80’s.
